6 steps to choosing the perfect Vancouver luxury real estate agent

Vancouver luxury real estate is all about connections. Because of that, the right agent is a necessity. But how do you choose the perfect Vancouver luxury real estate agent? You follow my advice, of course!

1. Research

The internet can help you find the names of Vancouver luxury real estate agents. Your research should go beyond just internet information and reviews, though. Ask around your circle to see if anyone has an agent they would recommend.

2. Focus on the person

Experience is important, but the person you are working with should be your top priority. Is this someone who makes you feel heard? Do you believe they really care about you? Are you comfortable opening up to them? You’re going to be spending a lot of time with your Vancouver luxury real estate agent and they’re going to be representing you, so you want to feel good about them as a person.

As for me, I have personally invested in real estate since a young age, so I understand the transactions from the Realtor side and from your side! I also worked on land transactions for a law firm while I was studying at Simon Fraser University.

3. Make sure you’re clicking

It’s important that you feel comfortable with your Vancouver luxury real estate agent, but you also want to go one step further than that and have chemistry with them. I’m not talking sexual chemistry, but personal chemistry. You need to feel that your Vancouver luxury real estate agent to gets you and your style. Basically, you have to vibe together!

4. Trust your gut

We all know that feeling we get when we feel good about someone – and the feeling when we don’t. Those feelings are the best tools you have when picking your Vancouver luxury real estate agent. So listen to your gut!

5. Talk it out

It’s important that you and your Vancouver luxury real estate agent are on the same page about your wants, needs, and expectations. Before you start working with your agent, lay out what you’re looking for. Be as up-front and open as possible. The more your Vancouver luxury real estate agent knows, the better they can help you!

6. Go for the connections

I’m not talking about connections with people – though those are important too! In this case though, I’m speaking about having a connection to the field. For example, I grew up in Vancouver and have years of experience working in Vancouver luxury real estate because I love it. That gives me a personal link to, and investment in, everything I do, which takes my work to a different level.

The most important thing to remember about your Vancouver luxury real estate agent…

Your Vancouver luxury real estate agent is there to work for you. If you ever feel uncomfortable or unsafe, that is not the agent for you. Similarly, if you feel pushed to compromise or buy a property you aren’t sure about, it’s time to switch agents!
